In Kyllo v. United States, law enforcement used a thermal imager to scan the home of a suspected marijuana grower, Danny Kyllo, to determine whether his home was emitting heat consistent with the use of high-intensity lamps for growing marijuana. Based in part on the thermal imaging scan, a federal magistrate judge issued a search warrant. Agents executed the warrant and found over 100 marijuana plants. Kyllo was indicted on federal drug charges. The Supreme Court addressed whether using a thermal imager to scan for heat signals from inside a private home constituted a "search" requiring a warrant under the Fourth Amendment. The Court ruled 5-4 that it did, affirming that a search occurs when the government uses a device that is not in general public use to explore details of a private home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion
